What was the conflict in Milan from 1041-1044?
score:4
In short, yes it was connected to relations with Germany, and yes, Aribert was involved:
Under Emperor Henry II (1002-24) and without a reformer on the papal throne, this situation did not present a crisis, but matters degenerated late in the reign of Emperor Conrad II (1024-39). The usefulness of the archbishop depended on his capacity to control the region around Milan in the emperor’s interest. A revolt in 1035 while the incumbent, Archbishop Aribert, was on an imperial mission threw that capacity into doubt. The rebels were minor lords who chafed under the domination and condescension of the archbishop’s capitanei. Their representatives tried to persuade the emperor that his archbishop was exploiting and exacerbating the ethnic conflicts between Germans and Italians, to the Germans’ detriment. Whatever Conrad’s real feelings about these charges, he clearly believed that it was necessary to soften the distinction between the highly privileged capitanei and the lesser lords who were in rebellion, and he did so in a decree of 1037 that granted the latter the rights of nobles.
Archbishop Aribert defied the proclamation and in retaliation put together an anti-imperial party intent on preserving the status quo ante. The early days of the reign of Henry III saw tentative gestures meant to defuse the crisis, but the whole situation exploded in 1042 when mercantile and artisanal groups in Milan expelled the archbishop and his anti-imperial retainers from the city.
A compromise worked out in 1044 did not last. Politics in Milan was a bizarre cacophony of clashing forces: the townsmen in a sworn commune or conspiracy opposed the again resident archbishop and his noble supporters, and the spectre of imperial intercession hovered in the wings. During all of this time, it needs to be recalled, the emperor remained convinced that the key to the domination of northern Italy lay in restoring and maintaining some sort of workable alliance between himself and the archbishop.
